Small Business Innovation & Research Program | Chief Scientist Small Business Innovation & Research Program The NSW Small Business Innovation & Research (SBIR) program is a NSW Government initiative that provides competitive grants to NSW small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop and commercialise innovative solutions to well-defined problems for NSW Government agencies.
Each round, SBIR challenges are released describing a current NSW Government agency problem requiring an innovative solution that is not commercially available. SMEs apply to the SBIR program with their proposed solution to one of these challenges. Successful applicants receive grants to work with the agency to develop the solution and solve the challenge.
At the end of the SBIR program, agencies are encouraged to pilot the technology at scale and consider procurement. The SBIR program is administered by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer (OCSE). The SBIR program has three phases: Phase 1 – Feasibility study: An SME submits a proposal to solve one of the SBIR program challenges.
Successful applicants receive a grant of up to $100,000 to conduct a feasibility study over a period of three months. Phase 2 – Proof of concept: Successful feasibility study participants are invited to apply for the proof of concept phase. Successful applicants receive a grant of up to $1,000,000 to develop a proof of concept over a period of 15 months.
Phase 3 – Procurement: NSW Government agencies will consider purchasing successful solutions. Each phase of the SBIR program is competitive and not all SMEs will proceed through all phases.
